From the annual report of John b.
Riley, superintendent of Indian schools
to the secretary OF the interior, 1t ap-
pears that the aggregate expenditure of
the government for the education of
Indian children during the year was
81 ,0s5,579 OF which $719.S33 was expend-
ed on account of boarcinR schools, and
$308 299 for the.support and education of
pupils at contract boarding schools, most
of which are under control OF religious
as the chief items. The
whole 1umber of Indian children be-
tween the ages OF and 16 years ls &c.
82l; Of this number IA 1872, or about 37115
per cent attended school during some
portion OF the year. A uniform system
of text books and the study and teaching
OF English only are recommended. The
report says that too much stress cannot
be laid upon the Importance of prepar-
ing native teachers, and to this end suR-
gests that normal school department
be established at some OF the large
schools. The superintendent recon-
mends that an industrial boarding
school be established near the Missouri
river adjacent to the Sioux reservation.

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State detect
i've, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
IN attendance at the prison. His duties are
to examine carefully the face OF every con-
yict as he enters, and to scrutinize every
visitor in order to prevent any discharged
convict seeing his pals. Occasionally ne
has to make long journeys in pursuit OF
runaway prisoners or to identity criminals
convicted in other States. He never makes
a mistake; if once he looks man In the
eve he will know him under any disguise,
as he tells his man by the look OF his eyes,
Once an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one third, but Jackson detected him
at once, Notwithstanding this remarkable
change OF feature. Mr.. Jackson is about 8
feet inches in height, about IS years old !,
of light and sinewy build, with black hair
and piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10 coo criminals, and it is simply wonderful
that he can distinguish the features OF ey-
ery one. On his long journeys he eats very
moderately and always takes one Brand
reth pill at night. When much fatigued by
the jolting Of the cars on his tires ONE trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on
the small Of the back, which give him re.
newed vigor and quickly relieve him OF all
WEAKNESS. These are the only two RENE,
dies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to Allcock's Porous
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills. Sing Sing,

gentle current from below. Several re-
ceptacles were made for the Matching OF
shad eggs, with only partially successiu'
results, but finally the device now most IN
favor was perfected.
The cut shows the jars invented by COL
onel Macdonald, which are recognized
among fsh-culturists as being the most
approved method of Matching and collect
ing fish, One of the jars is used for
Matching and the other for collecting. The
Jar consists essentially of cylindrical
glass vessel with hemispherical bottom,
The top of the jar is closed ty a metallic
disc perforatet with two iiva-eighths inch
holes, one perfectly central, which adElits
the tube that introduces the water into the
jar and the other equally distant from the
central hole and from the edge OF tho
plate. The other tube serves double pur.
pose, first, as an outlet for the water, and
second, to remove the dead eggs which
pass off in the waste or are fed to the
young fish in the aquaria. When the
period Of Matching approaches, instead OF
allowing the water from the Matching jars
to pass directly into the sinks, it is neces-
sary to conduct it through the collecting
jars. This is precisely similar to the
Matching jar in construction. The water
passes from the Matching jar through the
rubber tube into the eccentric opening OF the
receiving jar On the lower end of the CEN
trail tube is placed wire frame over
which is drawn a bag made of cheap cotton,
the texture of which is fine enough to per-
NIT the water to strain through, the
meshes being so fine, however, that the
| suction of the water will not hold the
young fry against it, as would be the case
| if wire screen was used. The water ls
allowed to pass out of this second receiy-
| ing jar into the waste. The young fish,
| if they be shad or whitetish, begin to swim
around in the Matching jar, drifting with
| the current They pass into the exit tube
and are carried over into the receiver in
| which they may be collected to any num-
| Der desired, being retained there without
| injury until convenient to make shipment
From Is, 900 to 10000 eggs may be placed
| in each jar. The constant flow of water
| keeps the eggs in motion, and in about
| three days they hatch out, the young fry
being placed in tanks ready for shipment.
Practically the same method is used for
Matching various other kinds of fish.
The current work of the commission IN
Matching young fish at the different sta
tions shows gratifying results. At Wash
ington 100000 white fish eggs were
Matched last week. the fry to be sent to
Lake Erie At Nashville aud at Alpena,
Mich, l25 900 white fish eggs were col
lected during the fall, of which 25,G0O,OO
have been distributed to the State Com
missioners for Matching and planting, and
100, 600 have been reserved to be Matched
at tho Worthwhile station, the fry to be
placed in the ocean and the great lakes.

herring, alewife, oyster, cod, haddock,
carp, Spanish mackerel, moon-fsh, gold
fish, tench, soft-shelled clam and lobster.
But perhaps the most interesting feature
Of the work is the method employed in
Matching the eggs OF fish artifcially. We
will take the shad as an example AS
soon as the shad are taken in the nets or
seines those which are ripe or soft are Sc
lected If ripe the eggs flow freely
from the female shad when the belly of
the fish is pressed gently; if unripe the
eggs win not flow at all; if the eggs are
only nearly ripe they will come forth with
difficulty, in masses; such fish are not
taken. A short time before the shad
spawns, clear eggs of large size will be
found in the roe, while the rest are still
hard; these become more and more numer-
GUS; after time they separate and fall
apart, liquid stream of eggs flowing
from the fish with the slightest pressure.
The melter, or male shad, is rather smaller
than the female, the sex being known by
the flow Of milt from the fish; a small
quantity OF milt will impregnate large
number of eggs; about one male in good
condition to two or three females.
The spawner, or female shad, is easily
known by its size and full appearance.
When all the spawn is taken it will be
shown by the blood appearing among the
eggs. A male shad is then taken, two or
three jets Of milk are forced upon the eggs
while the pan is swayed gently to and fro
A little water is added from time to time
until the eggs rise, which will be, usually,
in the course Of half an hour. After i'm
pregnation the eggs will be found to have
increased in size, and when they rise they
can either be put on trays covered with
cotton cloth or kept in the pan. In the lat
ter case the water should be changed every
hour. The bad eggs will float on top and
are of whitish color, being called water
blown; good eggs will be clear and like
crystal in appearance. The eggs having
been fertilized, the most difficult portion of
the task remains, VIZ the care of the eggs

The station at Woods Hall has been
actively engaged IN collecting, Matching
and distributing the eggs of col-fish, of
which 26,0OO,000 have been Matched and
planted in Vineyard Sound and other ad-
jacent waters. It is probable that the
total production of the season will exceed
100000 900 Goldfish when eggs are OBJ
tanned from the Ipswich Bay school AT
Wytheville, Va, the collecting of Cali
fornia trout eggs Is in full progress, over
100, 1000 eggs having been obtained, of which
fifty per cent. will be distributed in lots Of
5000 and 10000 to the different State COM
missions, the balance to be Matched and
reared at the station, and distributed as
yearling fish to the streams of the Appal-
achian region in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee.
Another interesting feature of the work
of the commission, and one which is, per-
haps, more familiar to the general reader,
is the method used for distributing fish.
Previous to 1880 the Fish Commission sent
its fish in large milk cans, all over the
country, in baggage cars, in special
charge Of messengers" who changed the
water en- route as often as necessary, and
otherwise cared for the young fish. This
method of transportation was attended
with great difficulty and often great loss
in the mortality of the young fish, from
the exposure to the heat or cold of the
baggage car and the change of the water
in different localities. Since that time
however, the commission has had built for
its use cars especially adapted to the uses
of transportation. These cars are so con-
structed that sufficient water can be car
ried, for the entire Shipment often cover
ing several days. BY a process OF aeration
the water is used again and again to re-
plenish the water taken from the recep-
tacles in which the fish are carried. These
vessels are simply tin buckets with per-
| forated covers, holding perhaps quart Of
water, and are placed underneath the
| floor OF the car. About one hundred cans
are usually carried the number of fish of
! course varying according to the size.
Over 100000 white fish were recently
transported in one shipment to Oregon and
Washington Territory with loss of only
| five hundred. These cars are provided
with comfortable berths for the messen.

ngengines, Matching apparatus, and every
thing necessary for the proper care of the
fish while en- route to their destination.
The spring shipments of shad has already
commenced, and millions of them are find.
ing homes in the rivers all over the coun-
try.
Such is a brief sketch of some of the
features OF the United States Fish Com
mission, an institution peculiarly American
in its conception, and without parallel in
any other governmental organization 1t
has achieved worldwide reputation for
It's enterprise and originality of method
Its work is better appreciated abroad than
in the United States, and at the Interna-
tional Fisheries Exhibition at Berlin and
at London we carried away majority of
the prizes for supremacy both in scientific
method and practical results. Throughout
Europe the United States Fish Commission
is being held up as one of the most striking
evidences of the public spirit, intelligence
and liberality Of the American nation.

The principal activity Of the commits
sioner, however, has been directed o. to
the wholesale replenishment OF our de-
pleted waters, (2) the investigation of the
fisheries past and present, (3) the intro
duction and multiplication OF useful food
fishes throughout the country. These were
the main purposes for which the commits
sion was founded.
In an article Of this nature it Is impossi-
Bile to review even casually the important
work accomplished by the commission,
and it is only within the purview OF
newspaper article to give brief account
of the methods employed for Matching and
distributing fish. The policy of Prof.
Baird has been to carry out the idea that it
is better to expend a small amount OF
public money in making fish so abundant
that they can be caught without restric-
ton, and serve as cheap food for people at
large, rather than to expend much larger
amount in preventing the people from
catching the few that still remain after
generations of improvidence.
The commission has thus established
Matching stations in various States of the
country. These are known as collecting
and distributing stations. The former are
located near the spawning grounds OF
those species for which they are especially
intended. The eggs are received at these
stations, and, enough having been re-
served to stock the waters Of that region,
the remainder are sent to distributing
stations, usually located at some central
point, to be Matched and shipped to the
waters for which they are intended. The
following stations have thus far been
established: Grand Lake Stream, Maine;

Their Cost Saved In a Short Time by Re-
duction of Labor.
Too many farmers fail to appreciate
the worth of having things as con-
venient as they might, with 5. trifling
expense. Instead of ready latches on
their doors and gates, they are too Oft
EN- tied with rope. The harness is
often fastened on the horse in the same
bungling way. Instead of pump at
the well. pail and rope of the most
primitive order are used to draw up the
water. The extra time consumed in
tho work when such is the rule on the
farm, is by far more in the course of
the year than would be required, in
value, to remedy all such DEFICIENCIES.
If gate or door is held in place by
a pin, this very important little article
should be fastened with a strong cord,
so that it will always be at hand. If q
better fastening can be secured, it is,
of course, desirable. We wish to urge,
however, that conveniences on farm
are not, as rule, in themselves any
more expensive than their undesirable
substitutes.
The farmer who will set his mind on
improvements in this line will be sur.
prised at the results he may accom-.
plish. On this account alone some
farmers need to go away from home
and pay a visit to some of the neat and
tidy farms, and observe carefully their
conveniences for every thing. Go then
and make yours likewise. National
